Foreign exchange is the largest asset class in the world and the machinations of currency markets influence every corner of the financial industry.

In the past few months alone there have been the continued tremors in the eurozone, political wrangles about the US debt ceiling and, more recently, the threat of currency wars. All of these issues have had foreign exchange at their heart and become the main prisms through which the financial markets have been viewed.

A good understanding of the foreign exchange market is no longer important; it is essential.

Financial News’s unique structure allows us to take a cross-sector approach to our foreign exchange coverage – gaining both buy and sell-side perspectives as well as writing about the technology and infrastructure used to trade currencies. This allows us to provide unique picture of the FX market “in the round”.

We are launching a new foreign exchange channel on the website and a weekly email to pull together our coverage of this vitally important asset class. We hope you find it useful.
